Walleye

If you're chasing walleye in Carrollton, Missouri, you'll want to focus your attention on the Missouri River and its confluence with smaller tributaries in the area. The best time to target these fish is during the spring spawning run, typically from late March through April, when they move upstream. Fall can also be productive as walleye feed heavily before winter. A key spot to try is near any submerged structure or current breaks. Local anglers often have success trolling crankbaits or jigs tipped with minnows. Be aware of fluctuating river levels, which can significantly impact walleye location and feeding patterns. A good access point is the Carrollton Riverfront Park, which provides boat ramp access and ample parking. Remember to check the Missouri Department of Conservation website for current regulations and creel limits.
